LeBron James has spoken out again after sparking anger for suggesting Houston Rockets Daryl Morey 'wasn't educated' when he sent a tweet in support of protesters in Hong Kong earlier this month.

'Obviously, it's a tough situation that we're all in right now... I think when an issue comes up, if you feel passionate about it or you feel like it's something you want to talk about, then so be it,' James said. 'I also don't think that every issue should be everybody's problem as well.'

China is considered the fastest-growing market for Nike, with whom James has a lifetime endorsement deal. In the most recent fiscal year, its revenue from China jumped 21% from the previous year, while overall, sales in China made up 16% of Nike's total revenue.

I also don't think that every issue should be discussed by high school educated athletes backed by corporate money funding communism.

On one hand he is right. He and practically everyone else in sports are morons. As in, many of them are literally people of low intellect. The rest have understandings and opinions worth nothing on these topics. He isn't a politician, be bounces a fucking ball around.

No reason these guys should offer an opinion because they likely have none and probably couldn't articulate the difference between the Republic of China and the Peoples Republic of China, let alone comment on the inner workings of Hong Kong.

Dude’s an uneducated democratic plantation “man-servant”.

Guy has a high school education from the city of Cleveland, can stuff a ball in a hoop real good, and since he has a fat wad of cash in his pocket people are gonna ask the opinion of this uneducated idiot? He then goes on to give an unintelligible contradictory opinion that only he can understand....since it didn’t make sense. He calls out an older man who has a much more advanced education than the rich ball-thrower and calls him “unintelligent”.

It’s hilarious if it wasn’t so sad.

Shit, haven't watched the NBA in almost 20 years since they became a bunch of whiny fake injury flopping Soccer wanna be babies.

Also hated Lebron worth a passion since he came into the league, always that he was a retarded premadonna.

He and the NBA are having really tough issues like how hard should they suck China's cock?  Should they just tickle the tip or go for the full deep throat action?

Sure, that guy in Hong Kong that got shot in the face the other day by the Chinese police had a bad day, but nothing compared to trying to manage the optics of this kerfuffle.

I really hope the audience for NBA withers up here in the US. Then these millionaire athlete SJWs can go live in China and entertain the shit out them. Since it is so good there they won’t even have to run community charities to help the political prisoners or the slave laborers. Move to China and make money there and enjoy fairness up the ass.

Will LeBron get a seat on the  National People's Congress and its Standing Committee and will he accept the position?

Or, will he just take the $$?

'I also don't think that every issue should be everybody's problem as well.'

No, he's right.

Northern abolitionists had no right sticking their noses into the issue of slavery in the Southern American States.

Lincoln should have minded his own business too.

One of the greatest athletes the world has ever seen. This guy has amazing basketball IQ as well. Has anyone listened to him speak at post game interviews. He is not an idiot. He sides with whomever is putting 10s of millions in his bank account. Can you blame him? In another thread, half of GD would sell their dog, but this guy cannot stand with the company that gives him the most revenue.... So If he sided with Hong Kong, would it have added value to your life?
